Wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles: how to take care of your eye contour?

by Cecile Shrimpton on Oct 09 2021
The eye contour is the most fragile and sensitive area of ​​the face. Wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles… this area, where the skin is very thin, can show signs of aging very easily if it isn't cared for daily. And since the eyes are one of the first things people notice about someone, we're revealing our solutions for restoring a bright and revitalized look. Choose a gentle makeup remover for your eyes Choose a gentle makeup remover that respects the sensitivity of the eye area. For example, you can use an eye makeup remover containing natural active ingredients such as aloe vera, which has multiple moisturizing and soothing properties, or cornflower water, known for its decongestant and stimulating benefits. For users of waterproof or highly pigmented makeup, a two-phase formula is recommended in order to dissolve the eyeshadows easily and without rubbing. Sleep with a silk pillowcase Did you know? Silk is a remarkable material that has many benefits for your skin. By swapping your cotton pillowcases for silk ones, you'll reduce friction and creases from the fabric against your skin. As a result, you'll minimize the appearance of wrinkles and creases on your face, especially around the eyes, which are particularly prone to those "sleep wrinkles" that eventually become permanent. Gentle on the skin, silk is suitable for sensitive, dry or blemished skin. Another reason to choose a silk pillowcase for your eyes: Have you ever wondered why your facial skincare, especially your eye care, isn't working well enough? The answer might be your pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases tend to absorb more of your serums, creams, and night masks. By using a silk pillowcase at night, your eye care products will be more effective because they'll be absorbed less. Bonus: the pillowcase is also a great friend for keeping hair beautiful and silky! Use targeted care: our Les Poulettes Certified Organic Eye Patches Made in France As explained previously, the eye contour is a thin and delicate area of ​​your face that requires specific care. A simple facial moisturizer will tend to overload the skin due to its heavy texture. Also, keep in mind that some facial moisturizers may contain active ingredients that are too harsh for the eyes, such as essential oils. As a result, you risk irritating this delicate area and causing puffiness! So what treatment should you use to reduce fine lines and under-eye bags? Your skin needs a product with revitalizing and hydrating properties, all without being greasy. Good news! Our Les Poulettes “full contour” eye patches are certified organic and made in France and are infused with a formula rich in plant extracts! We chose vegetable glycerin for its humectant and hydrating power, which guarantees the maintenance of the skin's natural water content, and hyaluronic acid, a true hydration booster that helps smooth fine lines around the eyes. We added young barley shoot water with revitalizing properties. And finally , konjac root , which helps fight skin fatigue, and particularly dark circles. A true concentrate of natural active ingredients to reduce the appearance of crow's feet, dark circles, and puffiness. A refreshed and rejuvenated eye contour guaranteed in just 10 minutes! Our tips for a tenfold effect: Store the organic and Made in France eye patches in a refrigerator before use to get the full decongestant benefits. After removing the patches, feel free to massage the eye contour by making circular movements around the eye with the pad of your ring finger. Practice face yoga The face has over 50 muscles, 22 of which are around the eyes. Facial yoga is extremely beneficial when practiced regularly, as it helps tone these eye muscles. The result: a less tired appearance by reducing wrinkles and signs of fatigue. Here are 2 facial yoga exercises for the eye contour to perform several times a week for visible results. Exercise #1 Step 1: Place each index finger on your eyelids and inhale. Step 2: Exhale while trying to open your eyes. Repeat several times. Exercise #2 Step 1: Place each index finger at the outer corner of your eyes, stretch gently while inhaling Step 2: As you exhale, close your eyes for 3 seconds, then open them again.

Grapefruit in our anti-fatigue mask?! Why?

by Cecile Shrimpton on Dec 03 2020
We continue the botanical beauty saga with certified organic grapefruit essential oil, a natural extract with multiple benefits that we absolutely loved. Grapefruit or Pomelo, what's the difference? First of all, we need to clarify one point! The fruit we know as grapefruit (which you will find in the list of ingredients of our formula under the Latin name Citrus x Paradisi ) is actually a Pomelo and the essential oil is a Pomelo oil! The term "grapefruit," which we use every day, is a misnomer according to botanists and agronomists. For them, the grapefruit has nothing to do with the round, pink-fleshed fruit we eat in salads or juice. It's an enormous citrus fruit that can weigh up to 8 kg (its Latin name is Citrus maxima, which says it all), and is much more bitter and acidic than its cousin, the pomelo. The "grapefruit" is actually a Pomelo. Pomelo, or Citrus x Paradisi from its Latin name Let's get back to our Pomelo. This lovely fruit comes from a hybrid tree, a cross between a grapefruit tree and a sweet orange tree, and belongs to the Rutaceae family. And since the fruit grows in clusters, that's why in English it's called grapefruit. You'll really be able to impress your friends with all this knowledge, but in the meantime, let's get down to business: its essential oil and its benefits! Grapefruits grow in clusters on their tree. A gifted essential oil Grapefruit (or rather, pomelo) essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fruit's dried peel. Approximately 250 kg of peel are needed to produce 1 kg of essential oil… This oil is particularly valued for its stimulating and astringent properties. It is also beneficial for dull complexions and blemish-prone skin thanks to its purifying and decongesting properties. Used in body care products and oils, it is also an excellent draining agent to combat water retention and cellulite. Its fruity fragrance inspires vitality and good cheer, and proves to be an excellent stress reliever. Some also say it stimulates creativity. When used in a diffuser, it also purifies the air in the home. Pure bliss… The star ingredient in our anti-fatigue mask: We have therefore selected certified organic grapefruit essential oil in the Les Poulettes Paris anti-fatigue mask for its toning properties. The formula contains revitalizing rose water rich in vitamin C, as well as moisturizing agents, of course. Because tired skin is often synonymous with dehydrated skin! Treat yourself to this concentrated burst of energy and vitality as soon as you feel the first signs of fatigue, to rediscover a rested face and a fresh complexion. This mask will quickly become your go-to remedy for busy days and short nights. Note: We recommend that pregnant women not use the anti-fatigue mask during the first 3 months of pregnancy since our star ingredient is an essential oil, and that they opt for the other masks in the range in the meantime.
